Marlene Karen Everitt
Marlene Karen Everitt (Anger) passed away peacefully at home with Lyle, her girls, and Suzi-Q (her companion dog). She had a long and difficult life, plagued with many health issues. She was born in Melfort, Saskatchewan on February 14, 1942 to Edward and Alice Anger and attended elementary school at the King Street School in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. Her high school experience was at the Lutheran Bible College in Outlook, Saskatchewan,
At the tender age of fifteen years, Marlene met the great love of her life, Lyle Everitt. They married on October 31, 1959 in North Battleford and were blessed with two daughters, Lori in 1960 and Cindy in 1964.
Marlene began her working life as a nurse’s aide, and often spoke of her fondness of caring for the “grannies” and “babies”. She was then drawn to another interest of hers, the beauty industry. She became a Cosmetician and worked at Eaton’s and Shopper’s Drug Mart. Her next phase was a move to Sask Tel where she became a Supervisor of Operator Services. She remained in this position until her debilitating rheumatoid arthritis demanded her to stop working. Throughout her working life she gathered many special lifelong friends. Her role as a wife and mother/grandmother, as a homemaker, caregiver and keeper of friends/family was always most important in her life.
Marlene was always very involved in her Lutheran Church. When her and Lyle moved to Lethbridge, Alberta in 1989, she found a new home at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd. She was active in many capacities, but loved being a part of the Vacation Bible School team in the summers. She also fulfilled her calling to God as a Stephen Minister and through this touched several lives with her natural gift of compassion and love.
A fabulous cook and baker, Marlene loved feeding just Lyle or the masses. Her passion in the kitchen and sourcing new recipes and her ability to organize everything and everyone was both a blessing and a curse. (yet she stood her ground with a smile and a twinkle in her eye whenever we teased her about them).
Marlene endured unimaginable pain and difficulties in her daily life for decades, and up until the time of her passing. Yet she never complained and met each day and person she encountered with her beautiful smile. She always shared her love and words of encouragement to help others. She was resolute in her faith in God and humankind. Friends and family were treasured like precious gems. Marlene never failed to acknowledge all birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions to a very large extended family circle. She cherished her relationships with all, including special caregivers. It lit up her world to spend time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren and could never have enough time with them.
Marlene leaves an eternal void in our lives. We are all blessed to have experienced the warm sunshine of her love. We will miss her dearly.
Marlene was predeceased by her parents Eddie & Alice (Gysler) Anger, in-laws Harold & Borghild Everitt, grandson Scott Mitchell and brother in-law Gordon & his wife Donna Everitt. She is survived by her loving husband and devoted caregiver Lyle, Suzi-Q (loyal companion), Lori (Brent) Mitchell, Derek (Sarah, Rebecca, Quinn, Rhiannon & David) Mitchell, Melissa Stanyer (Steve, Blaire & Hudson Leptich), Aurlee ( Jason, Hayley & Joni Belle) Crane, Cindy (Michael) Alton, Teaghan Whyte (Mark & Atlas Southern), Teneille Whyte (Courtney Kisko). Marlene is also survived by brother Dale (Phyllis) Anger, sister Rhonda (Robert) Phipps, brother in-law Doug (Connie) Everitt, sister in-law Carol McIntyre and numerous nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, the family request that donations be made to The Arthritis Society of Canada or The Lethbridge Humane Society, in honor of Marlene’s challenges with arthritis and her love of animals.
A Celebration of Marlene’s Life will be held at a later date, still to be determined.

Hart – Shouting
Annie Mary Hart beloved wife of Ken Hart passed away peacefully at Lethbridge Regional Hospital on July 31, 2022, surrounded by her loving husband, children, grandchildren, brothers, and sisters at the age of 72.
Apoyaakii (Ann as we all knew her) was born to Jack and Margaret (nee Weasel Head) Many Bears at home at the Belly Buttes on the Blood Reserve on August 19, 1949. This was her home for the first 17 years of her life. Ann was a vibrant, curious, and inquisitive child who was always full of questions and spoke her mind from the time she started speaking which got her into trouble many times and not to mention some very funny, and embarrassing situations for her parents. To write about Ann requires a book.
Ann came from a large close-knit family with 10 brothers and 5 sisters. As the sixth child she now had younger siblings to guide and boss around. But she certainly made our little lives entertaining and fun. She reminded me of Maria from “The Sound of Music”. There was never a dull moment with her around.
Thereafter Residential School happened. From a beautiful childhood and then having to experience the horrible traumas of residential school for several years. She was a residential school survivor.
In the late 60’s Ann met her first husband Napoleon Black Rabbit. They had three beautiful sons Wesley, Curtis and Cody. Ann and Nap divorced around 1980.
In 1981 Ann met the love of her life Oliver Shouting. They had an amazing life together. In 1982 they brought their one child Sterling into the world. Like, his mom, Sterling was one of a kind inheriting many traits from both his mother and father. Ann took Oliver’s children Bobbykins and Toby as her own and they in turn came to love Ann as a mother after losing their mother. Ann and Oliver adopted Ann’s niece Candace Many Bears. At around this time Oliver and Ann became foster parents. Their first foster children were Nicole (Nikki), Rochelle, and Jagger Calf Robe. Ann and Oliver loved them as their own and we’re happy to say we came to love them as well and they thrived while they were with them and to her very last day, they called her mom. Ann continued to be there for them helping them to become independent in their lives and they are all doing well for themselves. After Nikki, Rochelle and Jagger they took in numerous foster children always treating them with love and affection.
It must be mentioned Ann did not just foster/adopt children she also adopted fur babies; Aussie (her guard dog) and Kittie and grandma demanded her grandchildren call them Uncle Aussie and Miss Kitty. (There were many other fur babies before them.) The only surviving pet is Miss Kittie. As it turned out when Ann got with Ken, Miss Kitty liked Ken more needless to say that did not sit well with Ann so from there on out Ann and Miss Kitty were mortal enemies.
Ann and Oliver were a perfect match. One of the greatest joys that brought them together was their love of music, singing and dancing. They both had wonderful voices that was enjoyed by all. Not long into their relationship they formed their family gospel music band “Life in the Spirit”. They started performing at Cursio’s, Ultreyas, Pilgrimages, and youth pilgrimages. Thereafter began organizing music festivals all over Alberta, British Columbia into Montana, USA. and the Northwest Territories.
Along the way Ann and Oliver made many acquaintances, it would be amiss if we do not acknowledge and mention their names: Gordo and Rita (Scrap) Horn, Linda Beaudry, the late Fred Deroche (Mary Louise), of Browning, Montana. Art Napoleon of Vancouver BC, (yes Moose Meat and Marmalade Man.) George Dejarlais, of Chetwynd BC. Adopted daughter Yvonne St. Germaine of Saskatchewan. Francis and Elsie Whiskey Jack. And many more we apologize for leaving names out.
Sadly, Oliver passed in 2012. Annie Mary met Ken Hart in 2017 and they married in 2018. They too had a love of music and dancing. Ken hunted throughout his life and to his surprise found that Annie was quite a sharpshooter. Winning first prize for White Tail Competition with Fishing & Game Association in Ft. MacLeod, Alberta. Which she was extremely proud of.
Ann leaves to mourn her husband Ken Hart, her children Wes (Kate) Black Rabbit, Curtis Black Rabbit, Candace (Charles) Shade, Bobbykins, and Tobi (Monty). Mom Louise English. Adopted children; Nikki (Ryan), Rochelle (Andy), Jagger (Sheila) and Yjow-zeh. John (Lisa)Hart, Roanna Zmurchyk, and Alisa (Jeremy) Wollersheim. Her grandchildren: Clint (Elaine), Cody (Larisssa) Crier Black Rabbit, Gracie (Jayden), Chloe, Marabelle, Montana, Raelee, and Kahlani. Danielle, Kobi Ann, Zenna and CJ. Karlee, Terren (Shawna), and LaSara (Riley) and Kelton. Jalen, Tereece, Kyran, Apoyaaki, Anataakii ki Inez. Tye (Jade), Tristen (Chanelle) Charlize, and Natalie (Scot).

OISHI
LILLY MUTSUKO OISHI, nee Mori, passed away on Friday, July 29, 2022 at Chinook Regional Hospital at the age of 93 years from complications related to congestive heart failure.
Lilly was the loving wife of Yoshiyuki Oishi for 51 years, who predeceased her in 2008. Lilly was the devoted mother of Joyce (Dii Lewis) Oishi of San Francisco; Arlene (Jeff Coffman) Oishi of Lethbridge; Maurice (Johanne Doucet) Oishi of Calgary; Sheila Oishi of Lethbridge and the caring grandmother of her six grandchildren – Kazuo, Tomi, Yoshio, Seiji, Kiyomi and Taiga—all of whom she adored.
She was a woman of joy and optimism who believed that every day was a good day. She was constant in expressing her gratitude to others, and always encouraged friends and family to try new things with her catchphrase, “What the heck, just give it a try.”
Born June 2, 1929 in Newton, BC, Lilly was the sixth of ten children of Shinkichi and Suna Mori. Lilly’s family operated a successful strawberry farm. In 1942, as a result of World War II, the family farm was confiscated. At the age of 13, she and her family were evacuated to Southern Alberta and worked the sugar beet fields. Lilly trained and worked as a lab technician in Chicago. She returned to Lethbridge in 1957 where she met Yosh.
Lilly was an active member of the community and always enjoyed sharing her knowledge, meeting new people and catching up with old friends. She volunteered for a variety of organizations, was a director of the Alberta Cultural Heritage Foundation, and was a founding member of the Southern Alberta Ethnic Association recognized for outstanding service with a Life Long Membership Award in 2019.
Lilly had a passion for Japanese culture. She studied the Shinpa Seizan school of ikebana (flower arranging) for over 50 years. She helped to organize and was the first president of the Momiji Dancers. In 1987, Lilly formed the Japanese Heritage (Bunka) Society in order to promote and share Japanese culture with others. Lilly taught Japanese cooking at the Lethbridge Community College.
Lilly was an active member of the Lethbridge Buddhist Church as well the Buddhist Temple of Southern Alberta and was often found helping in the kitchen. She served as president of the Lethbridge Buddhist Church Women’s Association and with the Buddhist Churches of Canada Women’s Federation.
Lilly was well known for her culinary skills and hospitality. From Japanese dignitaries and basketball teams to rockstars and family reunions, Lilly cooked for them all. For her, cooking was an expression of love and a way to bring people together.
Lilly is survived by her sister, Amy Sakurai of Aurora, Colorado; brother, Albert Mori of Burnaby, BC; and sister-in-law, Sheila Mori of BC. Lilly is predeceased by brothers Toshiaki, Kuts, Bob, and Mick, and sisters Shinako, Terry and Susie.
The family thanks Dr. Leam, the staff of the St. Michael’s Health Centre, and the Chinook Regional Hospital for their care and concern. Char Friesen of AHS was a special comfort in sharing her expertise to help the family navigate care options for Lilly. Kind guidance was offered by the Buddhist Temple of Southern Alberta and by Salmon and Sons Funeral Home.
On Sunday, August 7, 2022, Meet the Family will begin at 1:00pm followed by a Funeral Service at 2:00pm at the Buddhist Temple of Southern Alberta at 470 40 Street South, Lethbridge with Rev. Izumi officiating. Interment will be held at a later date.

RENNIE
ROBERT JOHN RENNIE, beloved husband of Brenda Ann Rennie, passed away on 26 July 2022. Following complications from heart surgery, he died peacefully with his wife, daughter, son, son-in-law, sister, and brother-in-law by his side. While it was once surmised that overly-soft ice-cream might be the ultimate cause of his demise, his passion for rock hard, post-dinner dairy was no match for the battle which overwhelmed him during his final trip to the hospital – a patient no more, but rather a spirit freed from the trials and tribulations of this world. Surviving a liver transplant, heart valve replacement, gall-bladder removal, skin cancer, and countless falls, bumps, cuts and bruises – most endured while trying to clip out of his bike pedals –, Rob chose the open door just shy of his seventy-third birthday. While his parting is far too soon for anyone who marvelled at his energy, industry, and wit, it is less surprising perhaps given his complicated medical history and penchant for Cheezies and a wee dram.
Born on 12 September 1949 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Rob was partial to ‘dirt’. The son of an agricultural guru (Don) and his saintly wife (June), Rob’s passion for learning landed him squarely in the soil sciences. Pursuing his studies at the Universities of Saskatchewan, Laval, Minnesota, and Sussex, Rob launched a successful career in soil microbiology, international agriculture and bio-tech that would show him and Brenda the world. Following postdoctoral studies in England, Rob spent two years with the United Nations in Vienna before moving to the Lethbridge Research Station. Over the course of his working life, he held positions in Edmonton and Saskatoon (Esso Chemicals); Calgary and Buenos Aires (Agrium); and, Vancouver and China (Spur Ventures, Inc.), where Rob satiated his boundless curiosity while exercising the practical wisdom and common sense that drove his kids so crazy during their childhood. Following two unsuccessful attempts at retirement, Rob started a consulting firm (Keppoch Advisory Services Ltd.) and served proudly on the board for AVAC Ltd.
A true citizen of the world, Rob was seldom happier than when he was circumnavigating the globe, learning a new language, visiting family, hiking or biking mountains with Brenda, falling asleep on the couch without notice, reading the Economist or a good biography, or reporting on the weather and road conditions in locations other than his own. Yet wherever his journey took him, he always returned to the windswept landscape of southern Alberta, where he and Brenda have lived happily for more than forty years, the anchor to his family and home, and most suitably, his final resting place.
Rob is survived by his wife of 52 years, Brenda; his daughter and son, Courtney (Bart) and Kriston (Megan); five grandchildren (Jude, Felix, Tess, Elsa, and Louis); and his two sisters, Wendy (Tom) and Joan (Bob).
A Celebration of Life will be held for family and friends at the GALT MUSEUM & ARCHIVES, 502 – 1 Street South, Lethbridge, AB on Sunday, 28 August 2022 (2-4 PM). In lieu of flowers, please consider the gift of organ donation or a contribution to the Canadian Liver Foundation (liver.ca/donate).

Lily, beloved wife of the late Gerald A. (Jerry) Rogers II, passed away in Lethbridge on Saturday, June 19, 2021 at the age of 84 years. Lily and Jerry will be interred together in MOUNTAIN VIEW CEMETERY, 1210 Scenic Dr. S, Lethbridge at 4 P.M.

SCHMIDT, Mary Myrtle
(nee Agnew)
Sept. 22, 1934 – July 29, 2022
Loving mother, grandmother and wife, lover of all things Irish, and reluctant collector of turtles, Myrtle died peacefully at Victoria Hospice on July 29.
Myrtle was smart, creative and highly organized. In her younger years, she ran the lab tech department at the Victoria General Hospital in Winnipeg and served as an intelligence officer in the Air Force Reserves. Later in life she worked for the faculty association at Lethbridge College for 10 years. As a volunteer, she devoted many years to the service club, the Calgary Activettes (Active 20-30 Club) and to Victoria Grandmothers for Africa. Passionate about science and learning, Myrtle completed a degree in Computer Science at the University of Calgary and graduated with honours, all while raising a family and making midnight trips to the computer lab in the days before personal computers. She and her husband Ed and their three children enjoyed many good times at the cherished family cabin in Hidden Valley Resort, Alberta. Myrtle’s quick wit, fun-loving nature, and deadpan humour will be dearly missed by all.
She was predeceased by parents George Agnew and Sadie Agnew (McCullough), brother Howard Agnew (The Dear Boy), and husband Ed. She is survived by her son Kelly (Lise), and daughters Jay and Tracey (Stephen). She is also survived by two grandchildren, Eric and Sylvia (Matthew), and one great grandson, Nathan.
